On: Lessons from a never-ending personal project

[mikhailfranco]

Highly recommend The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin.

He has at least two beautiful chapters on this subject:

Completion p191

The Experimenter and the Finisher p205

The last sentence of Completion:

  We can't wait to finish, 
  because there's another idea calling 
  that lights us up.

The endnote for Completion:

  Is it time for the next project 
  because the clock or the calendar
  says it's time,
  or because the work itself 
  says it's time?

P.S. All his chapters are beautiful.

Author here. The second quote you mentioned really sums up what I was trying to capture. Thanks for the recommendation!
